Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE Tablet with S Pen, 256GB, Long-lasting Battery, Gray, 3 Year Manufacturer Extended Warranty (UK Version)

I've had other Tablets by Samsung and I have really enjoyed using the S9 FE+, set up was very easy, I connected the S9 FE+ to my old tablet and used the app to swap all my data over. this was painless and very straightforward. I signed into my accounts and I was away.The larger screen is fantastic, I really noticed the difference over previously having a standard sized tablet, the larger screen is great for running multiple apps/ screens side by side. The S pen has more of a natural feel of a pen so makes writing or drawing on the screen fantastic, I like the simple gestures of the s pen good to use too. the write text to print function is good most of the time, although it didn't always identify the text I'd wrote correctly, but the delete by drawing a line through text is great. The camera was good in natural light but struggles a bit indoors I found, but I probably wouldn't choose a tablet to take pictures unless it was a last resort or taking pictures of a A4 pieces of paper for the text scan feature in the camera app. Watching/Streaming films and tv was very good with the screen being large and vibrant. the AKG powered speakers are clear and powerful, although i mainly use earphones which are connected fast through Bluetooth and have good sound. Battery life is very good, charging takes a while though but it is a large battery so is to be expected.My only grumble is the same with all Samsung devices, no plug is included, just a USB-C to USB-C cable, if you don't have a plug with a USB-C input this is going to be an extra expense. overall this is a great tablet and i would highly recommend

Samsung support Dex mode on this tablet, which effectively makes it into the nearest thing you can get to a laptop without buying a laptop. I never switch out of Dex mode.The big problem with Android tablets is the obnovious Android apps written by mean programmers who can't be bothered to make them tablet-compatible. A fair number of essential apps only work in full-screen portrait mode. Ordinarily, that means a tablet sitting on a desk in landscape mode has to be picked up and manhandled to use it for such apps.Well Samsung invented Dex to fix that problem. Turn on Dex mode and go into the options in the Settings app where you can tell it to force obnoxious apps to behave nicely. You can then get your apps to work as resizable pop-ups in landscape mode, or move them to either the left or right half of the screen. Dex typically remembers sizes and locations of popups for when you bring them to the foreground again. Also it lets you pin apps that you want to always be on top.I had a cheaper tablet that tried to provide some of these features, but Dex, only from Samsung, is the best, and now I have it, I won't live without it.Beyond that, this tablet has a fingerprint reader (a very good and quick one), which I find to be absolutely essential, in fact a few apps (typically ones expecting to be on a phone) won't install on a device that doesn't have one.And if any review every tells you that the S9 FE is slow, they are SO WRONG, it is fast enough for everything I have thrown at it. (OK, I am a grown-up, I don't spend my life playing games on it. So I can't vouch for game-playing on it, but it is superb for YouTube, Netflix, Outlook, Word, Excel, Just Eat, etc etc etc.)Yes it's not cheap. But you sure as hell get your money's worth. Beautiful screen. Robust construction. Buy it a decent case!!!If you have a Samsung phone, you can access your phone calls and SMS texts from the tablet, which is super-convenient.Oh and I nearly forgot (as I don't do much handwriting or drawing) that it has a very good pen which magnetically clips into a channel on the rear. For many, that (and the associated app Samsung Notes) is no doubt a big selling feature. As you will realise, what matters more to me is Dex, and the interworking with a phone. Each to his own.

I have been using the Galaxy Tab for a few days, the initial set up was very easy, as I own a galaxy phone it detected another galaxy device was nearby and showed a QR code on the screen, scanned it with my phone and it set up my accounts ready to use.I have used the tablet for work, creating documents and presentations and for meetings. The S-pen makes taking notes and smart select very easy, the camera is excellent so I use this always for video meetings and the overall performance has been great..it has never struggled to keep up with my switching apps and editing.I use my tablet to watch movies/series more than my TV these days, the screen quality is great and sound very crisp and clear.The battery life is great and holds charge very well, I charge it every second day and even when the battery is low the overall performance does not drop.I would highly recommend this tablet for anyone, whether you are upgrading or buying your first galaxy tab this is the one to go for! You will not be disappointed, its a great allrounder that you could use for work and personal use as the clear display, fantastic camera quality, smooth switching between apps, smart select, s-pen, overall motion smoothness, performance and battery life make it an all round great tablet.
